Unique hybrid post!

[JasonSin]

I am studying biology and am specializing in genetics and am mostly interested in hybrids. We all know that cockatoos or macaws can crossbreed, we often see harlequin or catalina macaws. But what about an amazon x conure hybrid? Or caique x pionus? Or African grey x red fronted?

The last one I own myself. Sumo the timney african grey x red fronted parrot. He's healthy, sweet and dumb haha

Please post pictures of your rare hybrids! I always find it interesting to see what they look like.

Amozons x conures hybrids exist, but at this moment I don't have any link to the picture

I know of this mitred x blue fronted amazon

I've just reminded that on Tenerife there were orange winged amazon and a scaly headed pinous crossbred... in the wild. I refound the article (I'm not giving the link cos it's in Czech), but no pics of babies...

Later I can write more rare hybrids which I remind, cos I was interested in that too and already heard about many of them

Edit: no wait. I'm not sure but I think this parrot on the right is the hybrid

My Timneh hybrid is also sweet and dumb, wow. Please post more pics of Sumo, I need to see how similar they are. Any idea how old he is? Where did you get him?

Mine is from Belgium and was an accident in an aviary. He ended up in a large and good petstore, but because he was just a display bird he has a disadvantage(?). I think he would be a lot smarter if I'd own him since a younger age because they didn't do much with him.

I can post more pics later but they are literally twins. Sumo lost some red color though, and his beak is darker and smaller. He had a lighter beak when he was younger though. I think he's around 3 years old?

I've always wondered about amazon x pionus! Would love the links, even if in another language!

We do have Caique x Conure as well.


I've shared this before.... which includes Sumo's sibling. Personally, I love Sumo's coloring!

Hybrid Parrots

This is a group to discuss and learn about hybrid parrots, and perhaps figure out those unique hybrids that we are unsure of! Photo's include both unnatural hybrids born within captivity, as well as hybrids producing "naturally" within the wild, no human intervention! If you would like to...

For you - the link to pionus x amazon hybrid article: https://www.ararauna.cz/2021/03/na-...upinkovym-neni-to-ojedinele-upozornuje-vedec/ (note: in Czech "amazon" and "pionus" sound a bit similar, I don't know how Google translator will translate)

lorikeet x rosella - I think I've heard about such hybrid before but how they can live? It's a hybrid of two parrots which have totally different diet....

 

[foxgloveparrot]

(Apparently) a hybrid of a crimson rosella and rainbow lorikeet
Yes, Roz, how do they survive? What are their diets?

Thank you! I appreciate it!

There's also King Parrot x Rainbow Lorikeet... King body, rainbow colors!



Very odd hybrids indeed... and yes, I'd like to now what their ideal diet would be as well! Do the hybrids have brush tongues? Or normal tongues? Or somewhere inbetween? Does it vary between hybrid offspring?

I have heard that lorikeets will eat seeds given a chance...

The only 'hybrid' I have is my violet recessive pied cinnamonwing budgie with a (presumed) genetic issue that causes small feet.

His feet aren't that small, but smaller than a normal budgie's even though he's a big bird.

It's an old thread but today I read about a new hybrid - blue-fronted amazon x blue-and-gold macaw

It was bred in Portugal (the vid title is in Czech just because its owner send it to a Czech site) and it's probably the first macaw x amazon hybrid

Here are more pics of the babie: https://www.ararauna.cz/2023/09/co-...y-v-portugalsku-odchovali-unikatniho-hybrida/

That is a GORGEOUS bird

What makes you say your Timneh hybrid is "dumb"?

Maybe your budgies is part English Budgie and has the larger English body but smaller feet? He looks pretty normal and quite beautiful to me. I wouldn't even notice his feet are small.

He died, but while he was alive he definitely had small feet. Or very thin/delicate feet. He aslo had some neurological issues, so likely he just wasn't bred well.

Update - this bird is still alive

From what I read, currently its owner is preparing to write an article for a science magazine (also doing DNA tests)

What an absolutely stunning bird! It looks more like a macaw to me, but the colors are all wrong, LOL!
